About West Hyattsville station
A modest Prince George’s County station on the shared Green and Yellow Line stretch, West Hyattsville has one entrance, a lot of a few hundred spaces, and a role that is almost entirely local. Its best feature is not the parking but the trail: the station sits close to the Northwest Branch and the Anacostia Tributary Trail System, so it is a genuinely useful access point for cyclists and runners heading into that network of stream-valley paths. Otherwise it serves the surrounding residential streets of Hyattsville and Chillum, feeding riders toward Fort Totten and on into the District. It is a small, calm station and there is no reason to pretend it is more than that.
The area around West Hyattsville
The area around the station is inner-suburban Prince George’s County — modest single-family houses, garden apartments and small commercial strips along Queens Chapel Road and Hamilton Street. The Northwest Branch stream valley runs nearby, giving the neighborhood more green space than its density suggests. Riders are local residents commuting into Washington and students heading toward the University of Maryland corridor.

West Hyattsville station FAQ
Around 450 spaces, which is small compared with the major park-and-ride stations on the Green Line. If you need a larger guaranteed lot on this branch, Greenbelt to the north has a much bigger facility.
Yes. The Northwest Branch Trail runs close to the station and connects into the wider Anacostia Tributary Trail System, which is one of the better paved trail networks in the region. It is a short walk or ride from the station entrance.
The Green Line and the Yellow Line both stop here, giving direct service south through Fort Totten and Columbia Heights into downtown Washington, and north toward College Park and Greenbelt on the Green Line.
